Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) WWE Pulls Superstar From Kickboxing Fight
According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select (subscribe here), WWE has pulled Xia Li from an amateur kickboxing fight that she was going to take part in.
This decision by WWE is said to have upset Li. Here is what Sapp wrote:
Xia Li was scheduled for an amateur kickboxing fight recently that WWE only learned of days before it was set to happen, and only heard about it when word dropped online. WWE pulled her from the event, which was said to have upset her. All of those that we spoke to within the company understood why WWE would pull her, but that she didn’t understand why and thought that WWE “wasn’t giving her respect.”
My Take:
- I don’t blame WWE for pulling her from the kickboxing fight. She could get seriously hurt and it doesn’t benefit WWE at all.
4) Triple H’s Backstage Role On The WWE Main Roster
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Triple H has been a lot more involved with Smackdown as of late.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
The reason almost nothing was announced ahead of time for the 10/23 Smackdown show is because they weren’t done writing it until the day before. The whole focus was on the Otis trial. Paul Levesque has been brought in to be more hands-on for the last two Smackdowns. There were a lot of comments made about doing the Otis trial on a show that would have such a small audience in comparison with usual and on the go-home show for a PPV rather than waiting until they were back on FOX
My Take:
- It is interesting to see Triple H working more with Smackdown. I love what he has done with NXT, so I am excited to see if he can help improve the blue brand.
